Zucchini Pesto - Fresh, No-Cook, Vegan and Cheese-Free
I often make pasta on Friday for lunch, with a different sauce every week (unless someone puts in a special request ^^). With spring here, I wanted to try a quick sauce with no cooking and no cheese, namely… zucchini pesto. It was a big hit: it comes together in a few minutes, it’s fresh, well balanced and goes beautifully with pasta. If you love basil and zucchini, I really recommend giving it a try!
